Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherri Mackey, and it's time for us to
- 0:02Speaker 1: go to God in prayer. And as always, I invite
- 0:05Speaker 1: you to join along with me in prayer. I don't
- 0:08Speaker 1: want us to become complacent when it comes to the
- 0:10Speaker 1: things of God or the things he's called us to.
- 0:13Speaker 1: Father God in the mighty, matchless, powerful name of Jesus,
- 0:16Speaker 1: we come before you.
- 0:17Speaker 2: Today asking you to wake us up.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Lord, don't let us become so complacent in our relationship
- 0:22Speaker 1: with you. Don't let us become so comfortable that we
- 0:25Speaker 1: lose our hunger for your presence. Don't let us become
- 0:28Speaker 1: so familiar with church that we lose our reverence for you.
- 0:32Speaker 1: Don't let us become so busy with life that we
- 0:34Speaker 1: stop making time for you. Lord, reignite the fire on
- 0:38Speaker 1: the inside of us. Your word says in Romans 12
- 0:42Speaker 1: and 11, never be lacking in zeal, but keep your
- 0:45Speaker 1: spiritual fervor serving the Lord.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Father, stir up.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Something in us that we can't ignore. Give us back
- 0:52Speaker 1: the hunger to pray. Give us back the desire to
- 0:55Speaker 1: open your word. Give us back the passion to worship.
- 0:58Speaker 1: Give us back the burden to intercede for somebody else.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Give us back the compassion for people.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Who don't know you.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Lord, don't let us be satisfied with yesterday's prayers. Don't
- 1:08Speaker 1: let us live off yesterday's testimony. Don't let us depend
- 1:12Speaker 1: on yesterday's encounter with you. Give us fresh fire, God. Father,
- 1:16Speaker 1: put our families back on our prayer list. Teach us
- 1:19Speaker 1: to intercede for our spouses, our children, our grandchildren, our parents, our.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Siblings, and the people connected to us.
- 1:25Speaker 1: When we see our families struggle, don't let us just
- 1:28Speaker 1: complain about what they're doing. Teach us to pray for
- 1:31Speaker 1: what they're becoming. When our children are making decisions that
- 1:34Speaker 1: concern us, remind us that prayer can reach places we cannot.
- 1:39Speaker 2: Oh, when our loved ones are hurting.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Let us become intercessors instead of spectators.
- 1:43Speaker 2: Lord, teach us to stand in the gap.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Wake us up in the middle of the night if
- 1:47Speaker 1: you need us to pray, God. Put someone's name on
- 1:50Speaker 1: our heart and give us the discipline to stop what
- 1:53Speaker 1: we're doing and intercede. Father, don't let us keep the
- 1:56Speaker 1: gospel to ourselves.
- 1:57Speaker 2: Get us bold as.
- 1:59Speaker 1: God to tell somebody about Jesus Christ, not just from
- 2:02Speaker 1: the pulpit, not just inside a church, but at work, God.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Let us be a light at school, God. Let us
- 2:09Speaker 1: be a light in our neighborhoods, in our families, in
- 2:11Speaker 1: our conversations.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Let our light shine. Let our lives preach.
- 2:16Speaker 1: Before our mouths ever say a word. Give us the
- 2:19Speaker 1: courage to share our testimony. Give us wisdom to answer questions.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Give us compassion for people, God, who don't yet understand.
- 2:27Speaker 1: And Lord, let us never forget.
- 2:29Speaker 2: That we were once lost too.
- 2:31Speaker 1: So don't allow pride to make us look down on
- 2:34Speaker 1: people who haven't found their way to you yet.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Instead, give us a burden for their souls.
- 2:39Speaker 1: Father, break the spirit of laziness, break procrastination, break distraction,
- 2:44Speaker 1: break the addiction to entertainment that leaves no room for
- 2:48Speaker 1: your presence. Break anything that has caused us to become
- 2:51Speaker 1: comfortable with being spiritually empty.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Lord, wake up the church. Wake up our passion. Wake
- 2:57Speaker 2: up our prayer lives. Wake up our, Lord, courage.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Wake up, God, our compassion for other people. Wake up
- 3:06Speaker 1: our desire for holiness. Wake up our hunger for your word.
- 3:10Speaker 1: And let revival begin in us, God. Don't let us
- 3:13Speaker 1: wait for somebody else to start praying. Don't let us
- 3:16Speaker 1: wait for somebody else to share the gospel. Don't let
- 3:19Speaker 1: us wait for somebody else to serve. Start with us, Lord.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Reignite the fire in us until prayer becomes our first response.
- 3:27Speaker 1: Reignite the fire until worship becomes a lifestyle. God, reignite
- 3:31Speaker 1: the fire until serving becomes our privilege. Reignite the fire
- 3:35Speaker 1: until sharing Jesus become our responsibility and our joy. Father,
- 3:39Speaker 1: let us be a generation that refuses to sleep while
- 3:43Speaker 1: souls need to be reached. God, let us be watchmen
- 3:46Speaker 1: on the wall. Let us be intercessors. Let us be witnesses.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Let us be light, God. Lord, don't let us become complacent.
- 3:54Speaker 1: Set our hearts on fire again and let that fire
- 3:57Speaker 1: spread to our families, to our communities, to our churches,
- 4:00Speaker 1: and everywhere you send us. In the mighty name of Jesus,
- 4:04Speaker 1: we pray. Amen, amen, and amen.
